they sure look a lot more crisp with Stivrens back in the lineup. Hames is passing much more effectively and the whole team just seems dialed in.
Michigan is not a top 20 team, but they are a good team. They took Minnesota to 5 sets last weekend. In the BIG10 there are no easy wins. Just look at last weekend in the conference. We played really well. My hope is this is a turning point for the team. When this team plays well, they are very, very good. I sense a level of consistency now that "Stivy" is back. And man she looks good. She is stronger and leaner and it was evident.

Not so much of a drop off; she is just that dominate. There is not a team in the country who would not want to trade for Lauren. Every team has a player that, if she;s not playing, they drop off. Yes, Lauren is "that next player".it also shows we have a bit of a drop off when she is not in there.. we need to find that next player.
